I've watched many reviews on the Tuxedo by YSL, and they say this is almost identical to the original. I cannot speak to this, but I find this to be amazing. This layered on top of Mercedes Club Black is pure heaven. I have layered this on top of Layton, and it smells really good, but on top of Mercedes Club Black is in another orbit completely. I will be buying this again, as I find this to be superb.
